Lyrics

When I took your ring and said I do
I promised to be yours
I promised to be true
Now I’m walking away and closing the gate
Get out now darling before it’s too late

I might be the girl that you wanted but I’m not what you thought
My hearts down in the gutter with all the demons that I fought
If I paint a pretty picture and tell a real good lie
It’s so you’ll hold my in the morning and ease the sounds of my cries

Time moves so fast when you’ve got somewhere to be
But when you’re rolling on alone and on empty
Things slow right down to leave you be
With all your regrets and all your unmet needs

I might be the girl that you wanted but I’m not what you thought
My hearts down in the gutter with all the demons that I fought
If I paint a pretty picture and tell a real good lie
It’s so you’ll hold my in the morning and ease the sounds of my cries

The older I get, the less I feel I know
It’s hard on a women who wrestles with her soul
I can’t accept who I am and where I’m supposed to go
Heaven help me to lean when my cups half full

I might be the girl that you wanted but I’m not what you thought
My hearts down in the gutter with all the demons that I fought
If I paint a pretty picture and tell a real good lie
It’s so you’ll hold my in the morning and ease the sounds of my cries
